The Navarro County Commissioners Court met on Monday, November 24, 2025, to consider a range of county business.
Commissioners discussed the possibility of enacting a burn ban but took no action due to recent heavy rainfall in the area.
They also approved the closure of an abandoned alley running north and south in City Block 258A, near the Navarro County Annex between North 12th and North 13th Streets.
The court also heard the October 2025 tax collection report from Chief Deputy Tax Assessor Mike Dowd. Dowd noted, “Overall last year to date we have $4,072,294.69 and are behind 11.9 percent. We collected 2.59 percent out of 14.49 percent.”
The Navarro County Sheriff’s Office presented a contract quote from Motorola Solutions for body and patrol vehicle cameras. Navarro County Sheriff Elmer Tanner explained the reasoning behind the proposal: “We currently use Axon. We do not get into saying one company is better than another, but it is pretty pricey. We lean toward Motorola as they are the DPS’s current system. We know full well they would have inspected and tried everything. They will be about twenty to twenty-five thousand less than our current provider.”
The court approved the contract, with delivery to NCSO likely in the first quarter of 2026.
Other actions taken included several plats, easements, and routine items:
- • Approved minutes from the Planning and Zoning meeting held September 4, 2025
- • Approved a re-plat for Crab Creek Landing Lot 4C for Michael Quilling and Crab Creek Ranch and Land Company, Tract 2, for Jorge Hernandez Corria
- • Approved a re-plat of Foster Kemotte Acres, Lot 5, for Alejandro Domiguez and Joel Torres.
